₹140

Step-by-step explanation:

QUESTION :-

If each sweet cost 21/2 rupees, how much do 20 sweets cost, if my friend paid one third of the amount and I paid the rest, calculate my share of the cost?

________________________

SOLUTION :-

Cost of one sweet = ₹21/2

Cost of 20 sweets = ₹21/2×20 = ₹21×10 = ₹210

• One third paid by your friend

=> 1/3 × ₹210

=> ₹210/3

=> ₹70

• Rest paid by you

=> Total amount - friend's share

=> ₹210 - ₹70

=> ₹140

So,

you will pay ₹140

Hope it helps.
